Suicide, and Other Acts of Selfishness - Play of the Week
Theatre 118 presents Suicide, and Other Acts of Selfishness, a new play by Kieran Lee-Hamilton.
Edge-of-nowhere, Glasgow, Central Belt. An abandoned, derelict bridge. A young man and an old man decide to take their own lives. In the same spot. At the same time. They've never met and they didn't know the other was going to be there.
They both know what they're there to do. It's just not so easy with someone else watching. No problem. They just have to convince the other to let them go instead. Easy.
'Suicide, And Other Acts Of Selfishness' is a black-comedy drama that shines a light on one of Scotland's quietest, deadliest epidemics.
This event will be BYOB (one beverage per person.)
Please note that there is a flight of stairs to access the venue. For any access queries or requirements, please email theatre118glasgow@gmail.com.
Theatre 118 is part of the Outer Spaces network.

Press
"Suicide, and Other Acts of Selfishness is rich with that black Scottish humour that you won't get anywhere else. Lee-Hamilton's writing is skilled with the ability to create tension and easily break it with a laugh."
"This is a triumphant premiere that will be tweaked into an even more stunning production that makes an important contribution to the discussion of male mental health."
